Based on the formula you provided for a whitening cream, here is an analysis:

The primary active ingredient for whitening is Activated Resorcinol™ at 1%. This is a well-known and effective skin lightening agent that works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for melanin production.
The formula includes Light Cream Maker™ as an emulsifier to create the cream texture, LipidSoft™ Palm as an emollient for skin softness, Disodium EDTA as a chelating agent (often used for stability), Mild Preserved Eco™ as a preservative, and Distilled Water as the base.
The formulation provides the essential components for a basic cream structure and includes a suitable active ingredient at an effective concentration for skin whitening.
Please note that the total percentage of the listed ingredients adds up to 95%. There might be a minor component not listed, or the water percentage could be slightly adjusted to reach 100%.

Overall, the formula is designed to address skin whitening using a recognized active ingredient within a standard cream base.
